Police arrested Maria Podolskaya, 23, at 1:04 p.m. after the attack at the Loker Conservation Area off Rte. 30.

The victim had "obvious injuries on her face and torso," after the attack, police said.

The woman told police she was walking when Podolskaya confronted her, accusing her of stealing dog-walking customers. Police said Podolskaya hit the woman in the face, scratching her. She also kicked the woman in the ribs, bruising her, police said.

At the time of the attack, Podolskaya was walking several dogs, and as many as 10 dogs ran into the woods during the fight. Police said the dog officer had to round them all up.

Police charged Podolskaya, of 24 Sudbury Landing, with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (foot) and assault and battery. She was also charged with violating a town bylaw by having more than three dogs on a leash.

Podolskaya is scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday in Framingham District Court.
